How many of you have ever been truly discipled as a believer?
Sadly, many people have not been truly discipled and have no clue how to live a Christian life in this sinful world. On this episode, I talk about the need for discipleship and what we can do as believers to being the process of making disciples, and not just seeing people as a number on a salvation/baptism role.

Within 24 hours, people that profess Christ have had some very negative things to say regarding Derek Chauvin and the verdict that was released yesterday. In my previous episode, I mentioned we have to point to Christ with our language when we speak about things that we agree or disagree on.
Today, I have seen many people that profess Christ at odds with one another over the verdict. Christ has not been honored, and God has not b...

For over a year we watched the footage of Derek Chauvin leaning on the neck of George Floyd. We watched the nearly 10 minute video that sparked riots across the country, the burning of Minneapolis, and calls to defund the police were heard for miles and miles around the United States.
Did the new found wokeness of America win the day with a guilty verdict on three different accounts? Did Derek Chauvin have a fair trial? Was justic...

Recently Pastor James Coates was released from prison for continuing to open his Church in the middle of a pandemic. Although released, he wasn't going to be preaching at the normal Church building. Health officials put a fence around the building forcing the congregation to find a place to worship, essentially in hiding. Is this persecution? I will discuss my thoughts on this episode. #jamescoates #pandemic #gospel #fence ...

What happens when things don't go the way we want them to in our lives? How do we respond as Christians? What do we say?
What do we do when our kids are sick ? When scans don't come back clear?
On this episode I want to talk through worry, fear, trials, and our response while talking through a story of a friend of mine who heard the words, "The praise is greater than the worry," from a doctor at St. Jude in Memphi...

Over the weekend the son of Kirk Franklin released an audio recording of a phone call that included Kirk Franklin using profanity, taking the Lords name in vain, and saying he will break his sons neck.
Kirk Franklin is a well known Gospel artist, but is this the type of behavior that should come from those that profess to be Christians? Is this the type of behavior fathers are to bestow on their children?
Join me as I discuss thi...

With so much going on in the world today, the Church has a black eye. There is a watching world. A world that is watching the Churches moral failures, arguments, disunity and more.
We have to guard our hearts and strive together for the sake of the glory of God, the exaltation of Christ, the building up of one another, and for the sake of the Gospel.
The Church has to do better.

There is so much going on right now in the life of Christianity. Moral failures, allegations, lavish lifestyles and more are pounding on the head of Christianity.
What can we learn from all of this as believers? How can we get better? How can we love better?
Steven suggests a few things from Psalm 119 chapter 1 that we could all do to be better as believers.
Also, if you feel compelled to give to Voddie Baucham for his medical t...

I recently had a gentlemen ask me a question. The question he asked struck me. He said, "We are just one generation from Christianity being no more aren't we?" What a question to think about.
Are we one generation away from the Church being extinct? Will there always be a Church?
Join me on this episode as we think through the question of Christianity being no more.

Everyone was ready for 2020 to be gone, but 2021 proved in the first few days to be not much different. With so much chaos in the world, it's time for believers to stop saying God is Sovereign and start believing that God is Sovereign.

Has anyone ever disagreed with you on what you believe from the Scriptures? Have they taken an angry approach with you? Called you a heretic? Told you that you were in a cult? Told you that you are not saved simply by believing what the Bible teaches?
We all find ourselves in disagreements every now and then, but how should we respond? Do we match the intensity? Do we call them names, and proudly stand on our beliefs while mocking...

Many people want prosperity, but how many people want persecution? The Bible tells us that true believers will receive persecution.
"The Church in America has experienced prosperity and is growing weaker. The Church in China has experienced persecution and is growing stronger."
Are we ready for persecution?

There is a saying that cowboys are the last of a dying breed. In 2020 it seems that men in general are the last of a dying breed. The postmodern progressive agenda has enslaved many men to it's dangerous philosophies and methodologies. Finding real men is becoming harder and harder. It's become even harder to find Biblical Men!!!
In this episode I talk about men and the fight against the progressive movement.

Over the next several episodes we will look at who God is. We will look at the character of God. There are many Pastors teaching a man centered theology that is void of who God truly is.
The goal is to briefly dive in to each attribute of God that is easy to understand and help promote further study and turn the direction from man to God.
Today's episode is centered on the Self Existence of God, also known as the Aseity of G...
